Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays are there in September 2027 worldwide?
We count 23 public holidays in September 2027, spread across 17 of the 45 countries and regions we track, in date order in the table above. Breaks that spill over a month boundary are shown in full on both months.
Which countries have public holidays in September 2027?
Vietnam, Canada, United States, Brazil, South Korea and China and 11 more — 17 countries and regions in all. The table above gives the exact date for every holiday.
What are the first and last public holidays of September 2027?
The month opens with National Day in Vietnam on Sep 2, and closes with National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, ending Sep 30.
Does any country work make-up days in September 2027?
Yes — 1 make-up workday falls this month, including China (Sep 26). Those weekends are worked, so they are listed separately from the holidays.
Can I download the September 2027 holidays as a calendar file?
Yes. Every country's year page offers free ICS, CSV and PDF files that import straight into Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, and subscribing to the ICS URL keeps the dates updated if a government revises them. Month pages have no file of their own — download per country instead.
Are these days off for everyone in those countries?
Not necessarily. The table aggregates nationwide statutory holidays. Australia, Malaysia, India and Canada add state- or province-level days on top, so the real count there is higher; annual leave and employer shutdowns are not counted either. Observances that are not days off are excluded.
